A searing memoir of a political life that took the Telugu literary world by storm. Well-known as the widow of Kondapalli Seetharamaiah (KS), founder of the Maoist movement in Andhra Pradesh, Koteswaramma’s life spans a tumultuous century of the Independence movement, the Communist insurrection and the Naxalite movement in Andhra Pradesh. A dedicated worker for the Communist Party, she went underground in the difficult years of the late forties, living a secret life, running from safe house to safe house. Throughout, it was the support and companionship of her husband, Seetharamaiah, that gave her strength. And then, everything changed when he deserted her. Refusing to be cowed down, Koteswaramma rebuilt her life step by painful step. She educated herself, took up a job, raised her grandchildren, wrote poetry and prose and established herself as a thinking person in her own right. This moving memoir is a testimony of her courage and tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds, as well as her understanding of the frailties of human beings and political institutions. That women in India often face incredible suffering is known. That they can fight back and emerge winners is exemplified in Koteswaramma’s life. Published by Zubaan.

For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own. Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.

Climate change during the 20th and 21st centuries culminates in catastrophic changes to the planet as Nature declares war on humanity. Inches of polar ice cap melt, and evaporation bloats the atmosphere until finally, it begins to rain-and rain. The planet grows soggy, suffering manifest changes in topography as the earth turns into a quagmire, slipping and sliding beneath the feet of the humans who live on its surface. Earthquakes and mega-storms become more frequent and deadly. Industries suffer, with agriculture taking the biggest hit, and the economy teeters, then collapses. Physicist Noah Eastermann, determined to ensure a future beyond what others predict is the beginning of the end for the planet, builds a secret stronghold, dubbed Phoenix Nest. He smuggles in scientists and scholars until he has gathered a microcosm of world knowledge. Unable to program intelligence itself, the scientists instead enhance the brain's ability to absorb and retain knowledge and devise a way for this enhancement to pass from parent to child. Long after mankind plummetis off the top of the heap to land face first in the mud, descendants of Phoenix Nest, known as Preservationists, are hidden among the uneducated Morons in what was once the United States. Shelana is one of these "Presers." To carry out her duty as historian, she must battle to survive prejudice directed not at race, religion or means, but at intelligence. Feeding and spreading this prejudice is the powerful, mysterious and bloodthirsty group known as Myths. Vernon, leader of the Myths, is determined to wipe out the Preservationists and to control the redevelopment of civilization. Vernon has made one mistake that may ruin his plans and cost him his life, a mistake the Myth leader doesn't even remember he made. But Shelana does.
